Encouraging Prospects.
TTimes-Democrat.I

A merchant of this city inter
viewed the other day on the out
look expressed very succinctly the
reasons why New Orleans ought to
be hopeful about the future.
The crops, he said, are looking
better than for years past, are
nearly two months AHEAD of last
year, with an increased acreage and
every prospect of better yield,
particularly of cane, cotton, rice
and corn. Money is easy, supplies
cheap, and consequently the plant
ers will raise the growing crops
more cheaply and pro6tably than
they have ever done before, not
even excepting 1882, and be able
to pay off old debts; and it is
needless to say that the prosperity
of the planters in the country trib-
utary to New Orleans is part of
the property of this city. Again.
the levees are in good condition,
better than ever before, and plant
ing and cultivating can begin at q
much earlier season than hitherto
Coming to New Orleans, the fact
is cited that trade is good, the
| grain business increasing, as is also
the export of Western produce
The interstate commerce bill
assures increased facilities fol
trade and the extension of New
Orleans territory. The develop
ment of the mineral regions O
Alabama, of the lumber countr.
of Louisiana and Mississippi gives
this city very great manufacturing
opportunities, and at the sam'
time promises to largely increas'
| its trade.
This states fairly some of tn
chief encouraging features of tn,
situation here just at present
which has given 50 much healthie
a tone to business.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
In your last issue You seem to
entertain some fears, lest your
Greenback friend should be seek
ing an Office, or should be honored
with the justiceship of ward two.
1t is entirely useless to have any
fears upon either score, for l can
assure you: First-That l have
the advantage of many others, in
regard to seeking Office, as L posi-
lively am not hunting any Office.
Second-It will be time enough to
sauib at me about accepting the
Justices Office when l accept it.
Now, in regard to my acceptance
of an office, that is an affair of my
own, and / reserve to myself the
undeniable right of an American
citizen to accept or reject any
tenders that may be made to me;
and 1 deny the right of any man
to dictate terms to me In such
matters. If there is any thing
that l abominate it is chronic

time has now come when we should

It is said that Secretary Lamar
is the choice of the President for
the supreme bench of the United

A worthy selection by our most

They Claim Too Much.

1t is amusing to see some of our
cotemporaries, particularly those
of Alexandria, strut about in their
assumed garb of neutrality in the
gubernatorial controversy. One is
very forcibly reminded of the fable
of the ass masquerading IN the
lions skin, SO apparently does
their ears protrude into sight.
They claim to have no patience
with the Nichols song and dance
racket, and, while assuming to be
entirely neutral, never fail to stick
in wedge for the other side. We
would respectfully remind our
friends that consistency is a
jewell" One can be Democratic
and loyal to the backbone and yet
opposed to their favorite, and it is
not at all necessary to keep flying
the device Il am a Democrat" to
distinguish the species. Any one
with a thimble full of sense can al
all times distinguish true Democ-
racy, and the Nichols Democrats
who all propose to support the
candidate nominated by the regu
lar convention, are no less true t.
principle than those who advocate
the claims of other candidates
This is put in by way of a milo
disclaimer; and to it we would ado
the further remark that our ''thir'
term" friends are reckoning alto
gether without their host In claim
ing even half of the so-calle'
neutral papers. We can assur
them the biggest half prefer tn
'heroic wreck" and in the day 9
counting noses will be found way
ing his tattered banner.

Two human skeletons have been
found embedded in solid rock in
Arizona. Both were in a sitting
posture, and they are supposed to
have been females. It is thought
they belonged to some prehistoric
race, and sat down by the bed OF
the lake to talk over the new
fashions and did not notice the
flight of time.

Nichols and McEnery represent
two ideas in Louisiana, and it is
useless for the State ring to attempt
to avoid the issue by aspersing the
political character of Gen. Nichols.
The people have determined to
have a show at the administration
of affairs in this State, and they
propose to war it out on this line
whether Nichols or some other
good man heads their marching
columns.

AGAIN the Supreme court Of the United
States decided in favor of the constitu-
tionality of prohibition laws. It thus
rests with the people of each state to de-
eide whether or not they will enact such
laws. Men in the whisky business can
promote or allay prohibition sentiment.
Violation OF Sunday laws and other laws
by saloons strengthens the prohibition
sentiment. If saloons obey the laws en-
acted for their regulation and do not set
themselves up as higher law than the
popular will, prohibition will not be
strengthened. There were $4,000 votes
cast in Texas last August es
protest against saloon meth
DDS. If the saloons are wise
they will placate this opposition by ready
obedience to al laws of regulation.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents message delivered yes
terday deals with the question Of the
tariff and the revenue exclusively. Moth
ing more clearly Indicates the urgent
need OF G reform that will prevent the
boarding of money in the national treas
ury by methods that indicate the duality
Of the tariff evil: the many are forced TO
contribute to the profit of the few and the
national treasury drains. the country OF
its circulating medium.
Mr.. Cleveland wastes no time or words
in laying before Congress the needs of the
public, but tells the representatives of the
people in the few words that ne utters
that "the condition of the national Treas
ury imperatively demands immediate and
careful consideration" Mr.. Cleveland
insists upon the Democratic idee, that
revenues in excess OF an economical
maintenance of the government is ''inde-
fensible extortion" and betrayal Of the
popular rights. This making of the Ds-
tional treasury hosrding-box for
moneys collected through robber tariff
''cripples our energies, suspends develop
ment, prevents investments, threatens
financial disturbance snd invites schemes
of public plumber"
The remedy prop osed by the President
is plainly expressed, and must prove the
shibboleth Of MS party. That remedy is
to diminish the tax on necesssries rather
than on Injuries. Mr.. Cleveland is no
violent "free trader" but he says
the "present tariff laws, the vicious, in
| iquitous and illogical source Of unneces-
sary taxation, ought to eet once revised
and amended"
The people demand the relief, the Pres
ident has recommended it as Of para
mount Importance; now let Congress an
swer to the people IN its response to the
Presidents timely recommendations.

OUR people marvel much to see 50
many immigrants passing through Texas
bound for California The same rush Of
emigration has teen going on for years to
the west and north vest. Regular trains
crowded and special trains loaded down
with good people could be seen ct any
time passing through st. Louis, Kansas
City and Chicago, not per cent. OF whom
came to Texas. Our people have not
seen this, but it is fact nevertheless.
Why Texas did not receive her share of
this emigration can be explained by Texas
